Eating and Drinking in a Worthy Way Bible Readings: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 Summary: When you eat and drink a meal, you can do it in a worthy way (polite, moderate, thankful, etc.) or an unworthy way (rude, greedy, ungrateful, etc).

The Responsibility Of The Watchman Bible Reading: Ezekiel 33 Summary: The watchman or prophet should listen carefully to the Word of God.

Bread Of Life Bible Readings: John 6:35-71 Summary: The Lord is the expert of the heart.

Egypt, Dragon Of The Seas, Destined For Hell Bible Reading: Ezekiel 32 Summary: Pharaoh and his kingdom were mighty forces, second only to Babylon.

The Gospel Is Unique Bible Readings: Galatians 1:1-9 Summary: The gospel says: You are in such a hopeless position that you need a rescue that has nothing to do with you at all.

Paul reminds us that in the Gospel we are brought lower and raised higher than we can imagine and, t...

Egypt Will Be Brought Down Bible Reading: Ezekiel 31 Summary: “The argument the prophet presented was simple.

It Is I, Do Not Be Afraid Bible Readings: John 6: 1-21 Summary: The disciples were frightened when they saw Jesus walking on water. But Jesus said: “It is I, do not be afraid.” Look to Jesus, not yourself or your own circumstances. This will always bring fear. Look to God in faith.

A Fire In Egypt Bible Reading: Ezekiel 30 Summary: When God long before sent the plagues against Egypt (Exodus 7-11), each plague was directed against one of their idols.

Five Witnesses To Jesus Bible Readings: John 5: 30-47 Summary: The Jews required multiple witnesses in legal settings (Deut. 19:15), so more than one witness would surely be necessary to demonstrate the truth of Jesus’ claim of deity. Jesus provided five witnesses. God has not left us with limited evidence that Jesus is who He claimed to be. There is an abundance of witnesses to His identity, incl...

Do Not Put Your Trust In Princes Bible Reading: Ezekiel 29:1-16 & Psalm 146:3-4 Summary: Ezekiel 29 begins a four-chapter series of prophecies against Egypt.

In Psalm 146, the psalmist praised the Lord for...
